John D: Buy a new head gasket, remove the head and decarbon the head, piston and your main problem the sticking valves....I like to use MMO and a small hard rubber hammer to assist in this. Make sure the valve-to-valve seat surfaces are clean. I strongly recommend following the instructions in the B&S L-Head Service Manual, which will help you a lot....
